Symptoms Probable Causes
No hydraulic functions
Implement circuit pressures
are low
Implement speeds are slow
Engine lugs excessively
under load
Low hydraulic power
Implement drift
Shorted or open hydraulic
activation solenoid
Misadjusted hydraulic
activation control lever limit
switch
Misadjusted or stuck open
pilot relief valve
Misadjusted or stuck open
main relief valve
Incorrect pressure signals to
the pump
Engine speeds too low
Incorrectly calibrated power
shift pressure
Bad valve or solenoid
Engine malfunction
Incorrectly calibrated power
shift pressure
Incorrect main relief valve
setting
Misadjusted or failed line
relief/make-up valve
Excessive internal leakage in
the implement actuator
Next Steps
Check solenoid with a voltmeter
for voltage. Perform continuity
check. Perform resistance check
on solenoid and fuses. Check for
active fault.
Check the electrical signal from
the hydraulic activation control
limit switch to the relay. Check the
electrical signal from the relay to
the activation solenoid. Check for
active faults.
Adjust valve to specification.
Adjust valve to specification.
Calibrate engine and pump
controller. Adjust pump
regulators.
Check engine for performance.
Calibrate the Power Shift (PS)
proportional solenoid valve.
Check power shift pressure under
load.
Perform a PSPRV sweep test to
validate inoperative valve.
Verify engine performance and
adjust to specification.
Calibrate the Power Shift (PS)
proportional solenoid valve.
Check main relief valve setting
against specifications.
Adjust or replace the valve.
Confirm via block cylinder test.
Remove, disassemble and
inspect the implement actuator –
replace with new seals.
Low travel circuit power Internal leakage in hydraulic Remove, disassemble and
swivel inspect seals – replace with new
seals.

Low crossover relief valve Check crossover relief valve

setting against specifications.

Internal leakage in main Check internal components such

control valve as travel spools or main relief
valve.
